In an effort to coral my “check this out” posts I’ve decided to collect them into a weekly a post. Here’s this weeks:
Seminaries don’t make pastors, churches do.
9marks first eJournal of 2009 is dedicated to the topic of why local churches are not only commissioned to raise up pastors, but are also uniquely equipped to do so.

Mark Tubbs of Discerning Reader recently recommended this book to me. I’m still working through This Momentary Marriage so I’ve only read the introduction and first chapter of this book, but after reading that I am very excited to read the rest. Reviewed here. Buy here.

Not for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade
I’ve mentioned before that ChristianAudio.com offers a free audio book every month. This months book is on modern day slavery. If this topic does not interest you then consider reacquainting yourself with the Gospel. You can grab it on Amazon if you prefer to read books.
